You can replace or update a property book that was previously imported if there’s a more current version or corrections that need to be made.

This allows you to keep your records accurate and up to date without starting from scratch.

To replace or update a previously imported property book:

From the main menu, navigate to the Equipment section under Log-E where all imported Hand Receipts are stored.

Locate the Primary/Sub Hand Receipt You Want to Update

Tap the Three-Dot Menu (⋮)
Next to the property book, tap the three-dot menu and select Import updated PDF or comm memo. This will open a prompt to upload a new file.

Upload the Updated File
Choose the updated Hand Receipt file from your device.

Review Changes
If applicable, you may see View changes to review any changes you may want to make such as *Transfer items, duplicates, and more.

Transfer Items

​You may notice a Transfer Items label when reviewing changes. This could mean the item(s) were on someone else's PHR but are now being transferred to you. You can click on the label for more details.

Remember, any items that share the same NSN + Serial Number, will have all data (images, notes and tags) associated to it transferred to the new owner.

Confirm Import
Click Done to finalize the import process.

See Last Modified

Displays the date and time the file or document was last updated, helping you verify the most recent changes and ensure you're viewing the latest version.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • When uploading the initial Primary/Sub Hand Receipt, name the file using the name of the Unit or Title - not the month it was created - since the file can be updated regularly.

  • If the updated hand receipt has the same serial numbers that was on the previous hand receipt, the notes and images associated to it will carry over to the updated hand receipt.

  • When Updating your property book, items without serial numbers will retain their data if the same non-serialized items remain on the newer version

  • When Transferring items without serial numbers, the data associated with those items (images, notes, and tags) will not transfer.

  • There is NOT currently a way to add a new item without uploading a new pdf and updating the entire Property Handbook (stay turned for Ghost Hand Receipts).

  • Make sure the PDF you are uploading is from G-Army and is in landscape mode (not rotated) before importing it, as incorrect orientation may cause upload or processing errors.
